The Ontario Labour Relations Board granted leave to withdraw the application.

The applicant filed an application under section 174 of the Environmental Protection Act alleging his termination was a reprisal for providing information to the Ministry of the Environment.

The responding party brought a preliminary motion to strike sections II(b) and II(c) of the applicant's statement of facts, arguing they were irrelevant and did not disclose a prima facie violation.

The Board declined to strike the paragraphs, finding they were pleaded in support of the reprisal assertion and that their relevance should be argued before the hearing panel.

The matter was referred to the Registrar to list for hearing.

The applicant filed an application against Action Business Interiors and the Ministry of Labour.

The parties filed Minutes of Settlement.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board terminated the proceedings having regard to the settlement.

The applicant union filed an application before the Ontario Labour Relations Board.

Following a representation vote, not more than fifty percent of the ballots cast by employees in the bargaining unit were cast in opposition to the responding party.

As no statement of desire to make representations was filed, the Board dismissed the application and ordered the destruction of the ballots after 30 days.

The applicant filed an application for termination of bargaining rights.

The application was delivered to the responding party on January 19, 2000, but was not filed with the Board until January 24, 2000.

Under Rule 14 of the Board's Rules of Procedure, the application had to be filed no later than two days after delivery.

Because the applicant failed to comply with this rule, the Board dismissed the application pursuant to Rule 15.

The Board granted the extension of time, rendering the application timely, and referred the matter to the Registrar for processing.

The applicant union sought a second reconsideration of a certification decision, alleging that the Board Officer had noted the trade of each voter on the ballots during the certification vote.

Furthermore, a review of the preserved ballots revealed no such markings, contradicting the applicant's assertions.

The Board directed that a representation vote be taken.

A dissenting Board member would have sealed the ballot box pursuant to sections 8 and 8.1 of the Act.

The applicant requested to withdraw the application.

The Ontario Labour Relations Board granted leave to withdraw the matter.
